'Dangerous Beyond Belief' Escaped Inmates Captured in Tennessee

A massive manhunt for two escaped inmates ended Thursday night when the "dangerous beyond belief" fugitives were captured in Tennessee, authorities said.

Donnie Rowe, 43, and Ricky DuBose, 24, were caught after leading officers on a chase in Murfreesboro.

The intense search for Rowe and Dubose began Tuesday after guards Christopher Monica and Curtis Billue, both officers at Baldwin State Prison, were shot to death during the inmates' escape.

Earlier Thursday, the two were believed to have tied up a couple in Shelbyville and stole a Jeep and firearms, WSMV-TV reported. The Jeep was the third vehicle they are alleged to have stolen since escaping on Tuesday.

"He needs to stop [running]," said Rocky Dubose told the Atlanta CBS affiliate from his home in Texas. "Ricky, please stop man. Brother, they gonna kill you, if you don’t give yourself up. I promise you."

Federal, state and local authorities worked to find the pair, who investigators believed were driving a white pickup truck early Thursday that was stolen from an industrial site 25 miles from where they first fled custody.

It was near there where Sheriff Sills said the men ransacked a house in Madison near where they dumped a green Honda they allegedly carjacked after first fleeing custody.
